Li Rui bowed again."I dare not refuse the elder's gift. Disciple thanks Martial Uncle for bestowing the Zhanlu Sword ~~" Li Rui was overjoyed!
This Clear Sable Sword was one of the famous swords forged by Ou Yezi, a famous sword smith in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was the first of the five famous swords. The Zhanlu Sword appeared in almost all movies and games. This sword's function was like fortune-telling, foretelling the general trend of the world. Just like what was said in " On the Sword ", the sword was divided into the sword of the common people, the sword of the feudal lords, and the sword of the Son of Heaven. From the history of its appearance, this was the fate of a dukedom sword.
This time, Martial Uncle waved his hand and said,"Go!"”Li Rui looked at his master, uncle-master, and senior brother, then bowed again."Master, uncle-master, senior brother, take care. I'll be going now ~" Then, he turned around and left in big strides ~
On the other hand, after Li Rui bid farewell to his master, uncle-master, and senior brother, he returned to Xiao Xiang Garden and picked up the luggage prepared by Bi Yun, Chun Ming, and Xia Lian. He carried the sword that his uncle-master had given to Li Rui and gently stroked Bai Zhi's forehead. Then, he hugged them and bade them farewell before leaving the mountain. When Li Rui walked out of Xiao Xiang Garden, he saw that all the Green Phoenix Douque Palace's guards were already waiting at the gate to send him off.
The leaders of the Nine Skies and Nine Tribes were all familiar faces. Li Rui had been in the Green Phoenix Dou Que Palace for over a year and he was already familiar with all the leaders, deputy leaders, and team leaders. Even though the members who were stationed in Ethereal Peak were not common, they were still familiar with each other. Li Rui waved his hand and said,"Thank you for sending me off, everyone. I will never forget your deep friendship. Don't worry, everyone. Li Rui has been training under the orders of his master. There will be a day when he returns. We can have a drink and have a good chat then ~" After Granny Gao of the Imperial Heaven Tribe, who was standing at the head of the group, gestured, everyone knelt down and said,""Respectfully sending Young Lord down the mountain to train ~~~ We will look forward to praying for Young Lord day and night!!”
Everyone liked, respected, and loved themselves from the bottom of their hearts because Li Rui loved, respected, and cared for them. Right and wrong, there is already a cause and effect, there is no need to elaborate. Li Ruixu raised his hands and was very touched. His eyes were a little wet, and he suppressed his image and said,"Everyone, please rise. My Blue Phoenix Dou Que Palace has abolished the kneeling ceremony. This trip down the mountain will take at least a year or two, and at least three to five years. We will definitely meet again at that time.”
Li Rui endured the pain and no longer looked at the crowd and the three girls. He strode away like a dragon and tiger, and everyone watched as Li Rui left. After walking for half a day, Ethereal Summit was covered by clouds and mist. Li Rui sighed and looked at the mountain road. Li Rui knew that the road was at his feet and the road was far away. He had to turn back without hesitation. Li Rui strengthened his determination and fighting spirit, and his pace was much lighter ~~~
At night, due to the fast pace of the journey, they were almost out of the boundary of Tianshan Mountain in just one day. Li Rui was ready to speed up the journey and strive to reach the nearest small town at the foot of the mountain before dark. Suddenly, Li Rui heard a familiar tiger roar. Li Rui turned around and saw Bai Zhi chasing after him. Li Rui did not expect Bai Zhi to run out to chase after him. Helpless, he gently stroked her head and spoke to her, hoping to understand,"Bai Zhi, Master will be going down the mountain for a long time this time. Wait for me on the mountain. If you're in a hurry, you can enter the mountain yourself and return to your home by the lake. When Master returns to the mountain, he will look for you ~~"
Bai Zhi was very intelligent. She obviously understood Li Rui's intentions, but she refused to leave. Li Rui really could not bring her along. Not to mention that ordinary people would be scared to death when they saw Bai Zhi, if she was here, Li Rui would not be able to enter the city freely. Then how would Li Rui experience the world and travel the world? Bai Zhi seemed to understand Li Rui's difficulties and growled repeatedly. Li Rui seemed to understand what she meant. She wanted to accompany him in the wild. If he needed to enter the city, she would hide outside the city. As long as he called her after he left the city, she would be on the road with him.
Li Rui thought about it and agreed. After all, transportation was inconvenient in this era, and there were very few carriages and pedestrians between cities. Even if they bumped into each other, Li Rui's spiritual sense could detect them from afar. As long as he avoided them, it would be fine ~ Li Rui thought of something and said to Bai Zhi,"Master understands what you mean, but I'll be worried if you're alone in the wild ~" Bai Zhi immediately raised her head and puffed out her chest as if she was a martial arts expert.
Alright then! Bai Zhi was indeed comparable to a martial arts expert. Not only was she smart, but she also had a lot of zhenqi in her body. Especially since she had been following Li Rui, she had grown rapidly. Her strength was comparable to a first-class martial arts expert. Moreover, as the old saying goes,'dragons follow the clouds, tigers follow the wind.' Not only was Bai Zhi's spiritual power very strong, but she could also run very fast. Even if a Xiantian expert was not a master of Qinggong, it would be difficult for them to catch up to Bai Zhi. Li Rui said," Alright, Master has agreed to let you follow. However, you must be careful not to be discovered. If you encounter danger, escape first!"”
Bai Zhi was very happy to know that Li Rui had agreed. She went to lie down in front of Li Rui and motioned for him to ride her. Li Rui looked at Bai Zhi's obedient appearance and thought of the first time he saw her. He was so angry that he wanted to cut off her tiger penis. After taming her, he found out that Bai Zhi was a tigress. It made Li Rui feel weird riding on her back! However, it was not the first time he rode it. Now that he was riding on Bai Zhi's back, he was very calm!
Li Rui had just gotten on her back when Bai Zhi ran off impatiently. It was as if he had gained freedom. He ran very nimbly and carefree. With lightning speed, Li Rui and Bai Zhi arrived at the nearest town at the foot of the outskirts of the mountain before the last sunset. The small city in the distance was bathed in the sunset, making people feel lively and full of warmth. Smoke rose from the chimneys in the city. The scene was like a painting. Li Rui patted Bai Zhi's head and said,""Go, we'll set off from here tomorrow morning ~" Bai Zhi obediently turned around and ran away while wagging her tail.
Li Rui also walked up the official road in front of the city gate and entered the city quickly. If he didn't enter the city soon, the city gate would probably be closed. Li Rui followed the last batch of citizens to the city gate. A few soldiers guarding the gate were chatting,"Today's harvest is not bad. After work, we'll go to the best restaurant in the city,'Fragrant Cloud Loft' to drink some wine and have a meal ~" Li Rui heard that it was just right, so he also went to eat some wine and food first. He didn't know what 'Fragrant Cloud Loft' was like, so he went there to take a look first. Wasn't a restaurant the best first step in the martial world ~~!
Li Rui wondered if the restaurant had a lodging business in this era. The line continued until Li Rui reached the city gate. It was his turn to pay the money and enter the city. Li Rui thought that although his clothes were simple, the materials used were exquisite and the patterns were elegant. At a glance, he could tell that Li Rui was different from ordinary people. Rather than being interrogated by them, it was better to take the initiative to pay more money to enter the city. Li Rui did not want to be searched by them.
Li Rui came forward and took out five taels of silver."It's been hard on the officials. I'm a scholar who has traveled all over the world. I hope that the officials can make it convenient for me. This small token of gratitude is for the officials to drink some tea ~~" Li Rui quietly handed over the silver."Isn't this the young master of Minister Zhao's family? This one's eyes are blind. Please come in, please come in ~"(The currency of the Song Dynasty was mainly copper coins. There was less silver, but five taels of silver was a lot!)）
Li Rui cupped his hands in thanks and walked into the city. He casually asked around on the way and easily found the restaurant. The town wasn't big, and there weren't many restaurants to begin with. This Yunxiang Restaurant was already the most upscale restaurant in the city, just a little to the east of the city center.
It was almost evening, and the sky had already begun to darken. There were not many people walking along the road, but there were quite a number of merchants. Although this was only a small city with few residents, it was close to the border of Xixia. There were many merchants who took risks to smuggle tea, salt, ironware, horses, and other things, so there were many merchants.
Li Rui didn't mind and walked straight towards the direction of the Cloud Fragrance Brothel. Soon, they arrived at the center of the city. Li Rui found the restaurant and saw a three-story wooden building. Although it wasn't considered majestic, it was probably the tallest in this small town other than the city tower.
Li Rui didn't care about this and stepped into the restaurant. The restaurant was still bustling with people. Most of the people in the restaurant were businessmen from all over the world. There were really people from all over the world. There were also foreign friends who dressed in different styles. Li Rui scanned the area and found that there wasn't a single empty spot. Li Rui was speechless. Was smuggling so profitable? Everyone came to smuggle!
At this moment, the waiter had already seen Li Rui running in front of him." Young Master, are you waiting for the queue or staying in the hotel?”
"Yes, Young Master, please follow me. There's a private room on the second floor ~~" The waiter said.
Li Rui didn't say anything and followed the waiter to the second floor. He saw that there were also guests drinking and chatting on the second floor. Most of them were merchants. The rooms on the second floor were separated from each other, unlike the main hall on the first floor. The waiter came to the door of a room without guests. He turned sideways and pulled open the curtain."Young Master, please come in."
When Li Rui entered the room, he saw that the furnishings were actually very simple. There was nothing elegant as he had imagined. This private room was a little quieter than the first floor. In fact, the reason why Li Rui did not sit in a crowded place was mainly because there were obviously no Jianghu people in this restaurant. Basically, they were all traveling merchants. Moreover, Li Rui was now in the Xiantian Realm. Although his mental defense was broken by the invasion of external demons, his sensitive Spiritual Art was already normal. Therefore, any movement in the restaurant could not be hidden from Li Rui. Therefore, Li Rui sat in this private room, ate a full meal, and had a good rest at night. They still had to travel tomorrow!
The waiter wiped the tables and chairs as he asked,"Young Master, what would you like to eat? We have the signature dishes here ~~~"
Li Rui waved his hand and interrupted him."Just give me a few side dishes and a pot of good wine. Just serve it as soon as possible ~~"
When the waiter saw Li Rui say this, he didn't say anything else." Yes, Young Master. Please take a seat first. The food and wine will be here in a while!"”In a short while, two cold dishes, two hot dishes, a soup, and a pot of wine were served. The two dishes were a plate of salted peanuts, a plate of smoked beef, a plate of chicken mushroom stew, a plate of braised carp, a bowl of egg tofu vegetable soup, and a pot of Fen wine. Li Rui couldn't help but feel hungry when he heard that. He really hadn't eaten properly all day.
Thank you for watching. If you think it's good, please send more flowers and collect them ~ I'll work harder ~
